Redcon1 Real Food Protein Drinks

One of the best protein shakes I’ve tried. Great flavor! 40g of whole food protein! If you are looking to switch from whey protein, the MRE protein shake is the way to go.

I have tried many protein shakes. This is one of the first ones I have truly liked. You can find deals on them thru Amazon periodically, but without that, they are a little pricey. They have a little bit of a protein taste, so if you aren’t okay with that, you may want to choose a different option. Good texture and portability, with high protein content per carton. I love these! No sugar either!

Tasty and not charky, smooth to drink, great favor

Love it

Terrible taste. Taste like manufactured metal mixed with a cheap sweetener.

First of all - the taste (I only have the chocolate one so keep that in mind). A lot of other protein drinks, ESPECIALLY those that are whey-free and use alternative proteins like pea protein, have a very noticeably bitter and "medicine-like" aftertaste. With these, that is nowhere to be found. The drink tastes pretty much exactly like the chocolate milk I'd get back in elementary and middle school. For a pre-made protein shake, I find that pretty impressive.Now, in terms of the value, I find that this is at a really sweet spot. At the price I can get these, it comes out to about 7.5 cents per gram of protein. When you compare this to protein powders, this is of course more expensive (some of the powders come out to about 4.5 cents per gram of protein), but when you compare this to other pre-made protein shakes, this is actually a fair bit cheaper. There are likely a few others that may be cheaper, but many of them are not as highly-rated or tested as these ones. In addition, these drinks have a whopping 40 grams of protein per drink, which I've certainly found to be more convenient.All in all, I think if you're in the market for a pre-made protein drink (that is to say, you're already aware that you're going to be spending more for the protein than a protein powder), this option is really hard to beat.

I’ve ordered the Blueberry Cobbler and the Strawberry Shortcake. Received both way faster than what it estimated. The blueberry tasted better. The strawberry reminded me of amoxicillin (which my mom would have to hide from me because I would keep drinking it) I liked it but I can understand why some don’t. There’s a tiny after taste because it doesn’t have sugar. The consistency is thick. I’ve tried the Vanilla and Salted Caramel at the gym and they are pretty good as well. Just very sweet. They’re about $6 at the gym so getting them in a 12 pack is a plus. I usually drink one for breakfast and one after my workout.

Expensive for a protein drink. It doesn't taste very well warm so must be cold before drinking.
